So much has happened within the past month… but even though everything seemed so sped up, it still felt so right to be there. where? in God’s will.
This unfamiliarity of our future is no longer kept in lock by fear but grace, trust, and hope in Christ the author and perfector of our fatih.
Right now, I have no idea what to expect in Afghanistan. All I know is that there is a need for love and I have recieved that love from Christ and must also give it away to gain more from the source.
His word is truly the foundation of our faith. Without it, we waiver and we question as we assess ourselves, our situations, and even our relationship with Christ.
Stored food still does the job… it satisfies the hunger, but it isn’t AS good as freshly produced flavor, food, etc.
I have been living off of stored food… the word that has been written on my heart from the past. It’s time for me to stop living off of the counter and start making my daily trips to the grocery store. (what an awkward analogy but it works for me!)
I miss scott… and I realized how difficult it was to be strong when he was leaving. my heart became weak at the thought of his absence. but at the same time, it was an opportunity to grow again… individually as well as in love for one another.
We each have our responsibilities as we are separated physically. But Scott, as you prayed… our prayers will meet at the foot of the cross, as we each seek our daddy from distant places.
so where does that leave us for the future?
our prayer is that God will lead us to the ministry that he desires / has planned for both of us. For scott, the church the Lord will assign to him. For me, the school/district he will assign…
Lord, thank you for taking away the anxiety. But let us not put down our guards but continue to walk in faith and not by sight. May the enemey’s words fall to the ground and may the word of the Lord Stand forever within our lives as we journey on towards eternity, as lifetime partners.
Thank you Lord for your grace, your timing, your plans, and allowing us to be part of that. Your ways are higher than our ways; your thoughts higher than our thoughts…
love you Jesus.
